Disable iOS keyboard from displaying

Question

I'm doing an iPad app. I'm developing a custom keyboard. However, when I click on the textfield the default keyboard pops up. I want to prevent that disabling the keyboard.

I saw some similar posts here where they put a dummy View on top, or they disable the editing, but that won't do what I want.

Irrelevant to the question, but I don't think you can type a valid email using the keyboard shown. — Sweeper

This might help you solve your problem.

iOS hide default keyboard and open custom keyboard

Essentially you need to hide the default keyboard and then present your custom keyboard.

Using this you can disable normal keyboard

textField.inputView = UIView()

so putting your custom view can make the work

textField.inputView = YourKeyboard()

EDIT 2

Try to put this

youtTextField.inputAssistantItem.leadingBarButtonGroups.removeAll()
yourTextField.inputAssistantItem.trailingBarButtonGroups.removeAll()

It is crashing when I put that. This is what I get: 2018-11-26 12:23:19.922720-0500 Cleaner Pay[4067:403821] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIViewControllerHierarchyInconsistency', reason: 'child view controller:<UICompatibilityInputViewController: 0x7f9efd50a5f0> should have parent view controller:<Cleaner_Pay.LoginVC: 0x7f9efd4083f0> but requested parent is:<UIInputWindowController: 0x7f9efd898e00>'. Any idea? I'll post the code here in a few.

Code too long to paste it here. But is not working. I tested it in an iPhone app and it works. But for some reason, in the iPad app, it puts the keyboard smaller below and not clickable.
